EnquireMango bay is an unpretentious beach resort along the west coast of Phu Quoc, with a particularly laid back feel. Rustic and down to earth, the resort prides itself on being very environmentally friendly, taking numerous measures to stay green and play its part in protecting the beautiful natural surroundings.
There are 44 rooms, all set back from the beach in lush, uncultivated surroundings. They’re well spread out about eight to twelve meters from one another, offering both space and privacy. Features common to all rooms include banana leaf roofs, outdoor showers, four poster beds with mosquito nets, shuttered windows and a private veranda. There’s no air conditioning, but a fan is provided to help with air circulation. Note that there are no televisions but there's plenty to do in and around the resort.
Due to its beach side location, the Mango Bay offers an abundance of outdoor activities. Guests can explore the waters of the Gulf of Thailand by going on snorkeling or scuba diving expeditions to nearby islands arranged in partnership with the local Flipper Diving Club. Other water-based activities include paddle boarding, kayaking and canoeing, while on the beach there’s beach ball, volleyball and badminton; equipment for all these activities provided free of charge from the activity center. Bicycles can also be hired at no extra costs to explore the surrounding area. Duong Dong, the main town on Phu Quoc, is about 25 minutes away. It's a vibrant and lively coastal town with many attractions such as its fine beaches, extensive markets and well preserved temples. There's also an on-site spa with a wide range of treatments, and this is where the resort’s Tai Chi and yoga classes take place.
The restaurant is open to everyone and has gained an excellent reputation thanks to the high quality of its Vietnamese-style seafood dishes and Thai cuisine. Though it specialises in seafood, it has plenty of other available options, including vegetarian choices. The outdoor seating area is especially pleasant in the late afternoon and early evening thanks to the stunning sunset views. For international dishes and cocktails there’s the Beach Bar, which has a more relaxed and casual atmosphere.
Children are welcome to stay at the resort. Families are advised to book the superior sea view family bungalow, which has plenty of space and can comfortably accommodate up to four people. Parents are reminded to keep an eye on their youngsters at all times. Mango Bay is a very relaxed down key resort so there are no kids clubs or formal kids facilities, but the sea is shallow, sandy and warm. Children under 5 stay for free, and extra beds and baby cots can be provided.

Hi Lisa, We had a fabulous time thank you. The accommodation and other ideation were all terrific - that’s so much for your help. The apartment in Cape Town was particularly good - we would never have found that: Boschendal was great as well and game lodge was superb. Thanks again, Alistair

Dear Lisa
Well, we are back and still buzzing. We have had a marvellous time. The weather helped. We left Manchester in the snow and arrived in Marrakesh at 30 degrees. We were well looked after in the Riad. I'm glad we booked a meal for the first evening - ate it on the roof terrace. We can recommend that. It was delicious. We ate at the Foundouk, as per your recommendation and on the following night we ate at Le Jardin - got lost on the way to it!. We can really recommend Le Jardin.
The following day we went to Majorelle gardens. Fortunately we had looked it up before we travelled because you have to book in advance online only from Jan 2023. We found our own way to the Medera Ben Yousef and Latifa took us to Bahia Palace - both were stunning.
The following morning our lovely taxi driver Mohammond collected us to go to the EcoLodge. Yet another Mohammond made us very welcome. Again we ate well! You were right, the pool was freezing, but I can't sit next to water and not get in. Once you're in you forget how cold it is! I wasn't the only person to try the pool.
Rashid, our guide for our walk collected us. He was brilliant. It was hard work, but worth it. I was determined I would make it. Kevin is fitter than me! The Berber family were lovely. We stopped when we were nearly there to see how rag rugs were made. When we got back Rashid and Mohammond confessed that Mohammond had said to Rashid that he should get us to a road if we got too tired and they would send a taxi (or a mule!) to collect us - or me, but Rashid was sure that I'd be OK. He was right. I think they wondered about these 2 70+ year olds. We can't praise Rashid enough. He had walked over from Imlil in the morning and was going to walk back after he left us.
Thank you so much for putting our holiday together. We never thought it would be 3 years before we went. We are so glad we persevered. We did wonder what we had let ourselves in for as 2 oldies!
Fiona and Kevin
